It’s back! It’s been way too long, but we are excited to say that Tasty Tuesday has made a triumphant return. Simply put, Tasty Tuesday is the day when we talk about some of the yummy stuff we have been digging at Dad Does. Amazingly, Tasty Tuesday always falls on a Tuesday…good thing we didn’t call it Tasty Thursday, that would have been awkward.

EVOL CUPS – Tasty, Healthy Food In a Cup???

Food in a cup. Does that statement have your mouth watering? How about frozen food in a cup? You drooling yet? Yeah, didn’t think so.

Honestly, we tend to avoid so called tasty meals that come frozen in a cup – just doesn’t do much for us. However, we couldn’t avoid the new EVOL CUPS…mostly because they were delivered to our doorstep.

The fine folks at EVOL sent us an awesome selection of their CUPS in addition to some swag. Since the EVOL CUPS need to be frozen, there was also dry ice in the package…you would have thought it was gold to my son. After making smoke pour out of water and dry ice, we got down to tasting the EVOL CUPS.

Here is the shocker…these cups are actually very tasty!

EVOL Moves Beyond The Burrito

We have been fans of EVOL for a while. They make tasty and healthy frozen burritos…and who doesn’t love burritos. They use clean, natural ingredients –

“EVOL Foods’ products have no artificial flavors or coloring. Chicken, beef and pork come from animals on US Farms that are fed a 100% vegetarian diet and raised without the use of Antibiotics or Hormones. Eggs come from hens that have not been confined to a cage and our cheese is free from added hormone. Grains, vegetables and oils are non-GMO.”

Throw in the social good the company does and you have a winning combination.

Now EVOL moves into on-the-go meals in a cup with the new EVOL CUPS ($2.99 – $3.49 Retail). These are part of Target’s Made to Matter Collection. Here is the run-down –

Scramble CUPS

Perfect for powering up at breakfast, especially for those looking to grab-and-go, new Scramble CUPS offer a convenient morning boost in four great tasting flavors:

Egg, Uncured Bacon and Cheese with Bell Peppers and Potato

Egg, Basil Pesto, Potato and Cheese

Egg White, Veggies and Cheese

Chicken Apple Sausage, Egg White with Potato and Cheese

Fajita CUPS

New Fajita CUPS don’t sacrifice great taste for convenience making it easier than ever to enjoy four fabulous flavors with simple ingredients on your schedule:

Sriracha Quesos Grilled Chicken

Pork and Poblano Pesto with Rice, Bell Peppers and Cheese

Grilled White Chicken with Rice, Beans, Veggies and Cheddar

Veggie CUPS

For those looking to get their veggie fix, the new Veggie CUPS do not disappoint – touting four incredible new flavor profiles that pack a tasty punch:

Balsamic Brussels Sprouts with Uncured Bacon and Parmesan

Broccoli and Cheddar with Uncured Ham and Potato

Ginger Sesame Sweet Potato

Truffle Parmesan Roasted Cauliflower

With only 120-210 calories per serving, innovative sizing and portable packaging make for perfect options for those looking for smaller meals multiple times throughout the day. All twelve flavors are gluten free, with four vegetarian options and one vegan option as well (Ginger Sesame Sweet Potato).

Yes, They Do Taste Like Real Food!

Often when you pull something out of the freezer, put in the microwave for a few minutes and eat your meal out of a cup…authentic and tasty do not come to mind. The crazy thing is, authentic and tasty is exactly what the EVOL CUPS are! We love that they are only 120-210 calories, yet don’t taste like diet food. As with all EVOL products, you are getting real, all natural food – with ingredients you can pronounce.

Looking for a Quick Meal? Stock The Freezer With EVOL Cups

As parents, time is our most precious commodity. Sure, it would be great to cook a home made meal every night, but we know this doesn’t always happen. So, I suggest you do what I do – head over to Target and stock up on some EVOL Cups. They make quick meals and if you eat the cups standing in front of a mirror you will see yourself eating LOVE!
